A red band trailer for American Ultra, starring Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart, has been released. And it opens with the “n” word. I want to start there because if I don’t start there, it minimises the offence. And it becomes an afterthought. Which, it shouldn’t be an afterthought. Full Story

The internet usually hates whoever is cast in upcoming superhero movies. It’s a fact of life. Superhero casting follows a pattern: 1) Announcement, 2) Fan backlash, 3) Supportive media backlash to the fan backlash, 4) The movie comes out and everyone forgets they hated that actor. We’ve seen it time and again, most famously with Heath Ledger and the Joker. Full Story

Paps in Toronto shot them kissing etc this week. PEOPLE has secured the first photo exclusively – click here – and they won’t be available for use on other outlets until later. Should I spend money getting more shots from the set? They’ll likely be really expensive. Full Story

Now You See Me is out in theatres today. The film is getting mixed reviews. I’d see it if I wasn’t on assignment in LA. Because, as you know, I’ve been working on a Jesse Eisenberg problem that I thought I’d grow while watching the movie.
But there may be a setback.
A few of you have sent me this link and I’ve been sitting on this article for a week or so now trying to decide what I think of it. Full Story

I left Toronto for Vegas on Friday for The Hangover 3 junket. Those interviews will air on ETALK over the next couple of weeks. My flight back to Vancouver wasn’t until Sunday but many of the reporters left on Saturday to head straight to New Orleans for the Now You See Me junket. Several of them had already screened it prior to the trip because of the Hangover overlap and almost all of them told me it’s really, really good. Full Story

Jesse Eisenberg was photographed riding his bike in New York yesterday. What a great face. What a great nose.
How much press did Jesse do for To Rome With Love? I feel like it wasn’t much. Because I forgot he was in that movie. I was about to say we haven’t seen him at the movies in a while, which, I guess, considering not many people saw To Rome With Love, is half true. Full Story

Always forget how beautiful Jesse Eisenberg is and then really love when I’m reminded of it seeing new photos.Here he is shooting Now You See Me in New York with Isla Fisher and Woody Harrelson yesterday.
